Winner Announcement! The contest is now over. Congratulations to Devin A. and Julia D., the lucky winners of $2,500 and an iPad 2. You should have received an e-mail notification to your registered e-mail address. Thanks to all who entered, I hope to do it again next year.

‘Tis the season of giving so I’ve decided to award two lucky MyMoneyBlog readers with $2,500 in cold hard cash! And as an added bonus, each winner will receive a brand new iPad 2 (64gb). Yes, really! I don’t think you’ll find a richer giveaway on the web so please tell your friends, family and coworkers to get an entry in! Winners will be selected at random on the morning of Wednesday, December 21st and to enter the giveaway, you need to follow two simple steps:

Complete a short 10-question multiple choice survey which will help me understand your credit card preferences better in 2012. Remember to hit the blue arrow on the bottom right of the survey so your survey is submitted!

Subscribe to the MyMoneyBlog RSS feed by e-mail. I know that many of you may already subscribe in other ways, but this is the only way that I can actually track. I want to reward regular readers, not just one-time visitors. If you’re already subscribed, then half of your entry is complete!

The email address you register when completing the survey must match the email address you use to subscribe to my RSS feed. Unfortunately, if you are selected and I can’t find your email address in both places, you will forfeit the prize so please make sure to enter your email address carefully, because this is how you will be contacted. When entering your name and email address on the survey, the information will only be used to select a winner for this giveaway. All personal information is 100% secure and will not be used for any other purpose.

The obligatory fine print… please read!

Only one entry per person / two per household will be accepted. US residents only. Exceeding this limit will result in the forfeiture of winnings if you are randomly selected.

A W-9 form must be submitted in order to receive your prize. It’s free money, but I’ve still got to follow IRS rules.

Entrants have 10 days to claim their prize and submit their W-9 (even during the holiday season). If 10 days pass, the winnings will be awarded to someone else, again at random.

Cash prize and iPad 2 will be mailed separately but should be received one to two weeks following receipt of the W-9 form.

If you have any questions about the giveaway or just want to express your exuberance, feel free to leave a comment below. Happy Holidays and good luck to everyone that enters!

Gary here. A fan of your posts and your blogs. The comments also have been of knowledge most of the times.

I did sign up and don’t expect to win. But did anyways. However, I was wondering whether you are doing this on behalf of anyone or are you using your personal funds? I don’t need to know the reason for doing this.

You are so generous this year! Having designed and built these surveys myself, I can tell you chose to randomize the choices to get more honest results because the choice “None of the above” was in the middle of the list. So, after the contest, are you going to publish the results of the survey?

Long time reader here. I probably start reading this blog five year ago. I have earned thousand of dollars just by reading your blog. It’s nice of you to do this little contest. I won’t mind winning the $2500 at all.

It _is_ very nice of you, but there’s something you didn’t add (maybe because it’s obvious to you); to whom is this open? i’m thinking it’s open just to US residents, but I might be mistaken (many blogs specify their contest being open to more than US, because they pay the rewards via paypal anyway)

Anyway, like i said, it _is very generous of you, on the top of taking time to research and make public so many financual tups.

I have been reading your blog for years and signed up for many great reward cards by reading your blog. Keep it up! This is a great way to keep readers excited about returning. I have entered the contest *keeping fingers crossed!

Wow, Jonathan is showering us with more gifts for this christmas!! Good prizes! I been reading your blog via RSS feed for few years and always like most of the posts. I even refer or post your blogs in my own blog post if really worth to spread it.

Keep it up!! Curious like other person, are you doing this for any advertisers or just by yourself?

Thank you for NOT making twitter shout-outs and facebook likes a requirement! I love reading your blog and have no qualms about recommending your site when friends ask me what they should read re: personal finance, but I hate link-spamming my friends with canned twitter messages just to enter a contest.

just wanted to say a quick thank you…so, “thank you!” loved the site for years, and while winning would be great given things these days, you have already been a great help to me in so many ways just my running the site.

I always thought this blog was something you did on a part time basis, is this your main gig now. I hate contests, lotterys, gambling in general it is a PF killer. Having said that your blog has made me money and a little cash smarter, so I will continue to be a loyal reader.

Real shame that I’m not a US resident. What a great way to reward your loyal visitors. I wish more blogs did this!!! Thanks for all your excellent blog posts this year, it been very enjoyable reading them

Congrats to lucky winners! I was trying my Law of Attraction mantra to see it works out to win the price. But it looks lucky charm doesn’t always comply with it.
Anyway, Happy Holidays to Jonathan and all co-readers. Take a break and celebrate your achievements and welcome 2012 with great charm 🙂

Thanks again Jonathan for being so generous and having this amazing giveaway! I am so grateful and excited to have won! This has been an amazing Christmas and I wish you and your family a great holiday. Many thanks!

Thanks everyone for reading and for playing along with this giveaway. There were over 3,000 entrants! The two lucky winners picked by random.org have responded, so this contest is officially over. Happy Holidays!
